Pattani, Thailand
Pattani is a town (thesaban mueang) in the far south of Thailand, near
the border with Malaysia. It is the capital of Pattani Province. The
city has a population of 43,631 (2005). It covers the whole tambon
Sabarang, Anoru and Chabang Tiko of Mueang Pattani district.
Some say the word Pattani is derived from "Petani" in Malay which
means "farmer". Alternatively the name Pattani is the Thai adaptation
of the Malay name Patani (Jawi: ڤتنا), which can mean "this beach"
in Patani Malay language. (In standard Malay, this would be pantai
ini.) Another suggestion is that it derives from a Sanskrit word
pathini, meaning "virgin nymph"; Pathini was the name of a daughter of
Merong Mahawangsa, founder of the preceding Langkasuka Empire

House Of Jamalullail (Perlis)
A house is a building that functions as a home. They can range from
simple dwellings such as rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and the
improvised shacks in shantytowns to complex, fixed structures of wood,
brick, concrete or other materials containing plumbing, ventilation,
and electrical systems.[1][2] Houses use a range of different roofing
systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the
dwelling space. Houses may have doors or locks to secure the dwelling
space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other
trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will
contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area,
and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the
eating area may be integrated into another room. Some large houses in
North America have a recreation room

political control of a state, distinct from the home territory of the
